CSW seeks applications from faculty interested in proposing a programming concentration for the Fall or Winter quarters of the 2009-2010 academic year. CSW will award from $3000 to $5000 per quarter to fund up to three presentations by outside speakers whose work pertains to the proposed programming concentration. Award monies will be used for direct costs associated with bringing in outside speakers (honoraria, travel, lodging, receptions). While those awarded faculty curatorships will be responsible for selecting the potential speakers, all other logistics of the speaker's campus visit will be arranged by CSW staff. One project will be funded per quarter. CSW welcomes proposals from formal or informal research groups or from faculty who wish to coordinate a lecture series or workshop with a department or other research center. These faculty or faculty groups will serve as guest curators for the Center's primary programming for one quarter. To apply, please visit our website at http://www.csw.ucla.edu/faculty_funding.html and follow the detailed guidelines to complete the required application materials. I encourage all qualified UCLA faculty to apply. Please submit completed applications to [log in to unmask] by December 18, 2008 at 5:30 pm. All the very best, Kathleen McHugh Director, Center for the Study of Women Professor, English and Cinema & Media Studies
